Welcome to HealthCentral's First Ever Myth Week

April Fools!

No special diet and you’re shaving just fine (but could you imagine?!)

How can you avoid getting fooled by your health? Join HealthCentral for our first ever MYTH WEEK!

Learning about our health is never a straight path, and can often include uncovering and debunking medical mysteries or bad advice. Here at HealthCentral, we want to make getting reliable health information easier. That’s why for one week, we’ll be highlighting content that exposes medical myths. We’ll also be having a little fun by sharing some of the weirdest things we’ve discovered about health over the years.

For example, did you know the length of your fingers can help determine your risk for mental imbalances?
